The evolution of DDT resistance and the harm both to humans and the environment led many governments to curtail DDT use.[13]

DDT cannot be used to control bed bugs. Because DDT was once used this way, some people have suggested that bringing back DDT could solve bed bug problems today. This is not true. Although the insecticide DDT helped to get rid of bed bugs in the 1950s, it is not effective to use today and has risks. By the 1950s, many populations of bed bugs around the world were resistant to DDT.1 In 1956 pest control specialists started recommending that people stop using DDT for bed bugs and use different insecticides instead.1 DDT was banned in the United States in 1972 for health and environmental reasons.2
